U.S. Soldiers killed by IRAQI TROOPS!!!

Killed by the very people they were patrolling with. Brings new life to a thread I saw earlier talking about (IIRC) can we trust the Iraq Army/troops?

How's that for a kick in the nuts? :|
Considering how many of the trained army are really insurgents/terrorists who will desert or fight against the US troops or other Iraqi troops, it's not a surprise at all.

They have infiltrated every level of the government and the military. Look at what's going on in Basra for a prime example!

The militias rule the country. It's well beyond time for the US to leave. Leave the mess to the Iraqis to clean up and fight amongst themselves over.

hey conjie, 'ole buddy, what do you suppose Iran might do if/when we completely withdraw from Iraq?

give me your best guess.
 
They won't do sh*t. If they even think about approaching Iraqi border with an army we'll cut them up with daisy cutters. Meanwhile we actually get to elminate the real threat, the number one sponsor of terror since at least 1979 according to State dept, Irans Nuclear ambitions. Which we can't do right now with our troops in range of all irans missles and surrounded sympathetic Iraqi Shi'a who would become very un-sympathetic should we start bombing thier brothers in Iran.

I just can't beleive Bush is going to let Iran walk and he invaded Iraq, even giving them a reactor.. Nice knowing you Israel. Real idiot Jorge Al-Bush is.
 
On second thought let them invade those muslims love killing and dying why try and stop them? Hell arm them too. Reagan had the right idea.
 
From what I've heard, the troops are FURIOUS in Iraq. They want some serious payback. Apparently the corpses were mutiliated in various ways (genitals put into mouth, beheaded, eyes gouged out)
 
My brother sends me most of the "Allah u Akbar" videos that come out from these death cults ....I won't be watching that one.🙁

Beyond the pale.

Was just a few bad apples.

They were just letting off a little steam.

Nothing more than college pranks.




See what we've been talking about for over two years?!?!?!?

Probably invade and kick the crap out of the Iraqi army...mostly because we've been doing a piss poor job training them. If we had been on the ball from the beginning, the troops could be home right now.

Sen. Boxer said tonight, during the Iraq debate, that one of those killed had told his parents that they had been shot at before by Iraqi security forces but was told to keep quiet!
